Broken Top TH Road

Post by Born2BBrad » October 6th, 2023, 1:26 pm

So just how rough is the road to Broken Top TH once past Todd Lake day use area? It is described as "very rough and requires high-clearance AWD or 4WD vehicle".

Edit: William Sullivan describes it as "This may be the worst road you've ever seen, with giant ruts that slow 4-wheel drive rigs to a crawl"

Could a standard Subaru Outback handle it?

I did it about five years ago in a Honda CR-V so, yes, an Outback should be able to do it - slowly. As you know, it's very popular, and the parking lot was full of similar vehicles, including Subarus. It will be much worse when wet, though.
